Somewhere you wouldve expected the xan heavy tags to maaaaaybe consider switching from FI to FR instead of continueing with what was not working

Everyone who went Xan, ZIk and Etd clearly overestimated how strong those races are, and that's on them as players. It's on us* as stats makers that there even
is a fleet strategy A that completely outperforms all other strategies. That's just bad design.
* I didn't actually participate this time around, but you know what I mean: the small group of people who involve themselves in the ship stat design process.

Sure, they're a little underrepresented. However, they only get 5-10 fewer RP per tick than Ter, Zik and Etd, and in exchange, they gain the absolutely bonkers advantage of having (usually) only cloaked ships. Considering they were overrepresented in the top 10, 50 and 100 for the longest time, I think the current situation is absolutely fine.
...and none of this is relevant to the thread.
